Energy materials
Uniquely suited to deliver fluorine for the battery industry
Batteries are a critical enabling technology in the world’s energy transformation. In order to meet global energy demands, batteries will need to have secure and sustainable supply chains for raw materials, exhibit safe and stable performance under a wide range of operating conditions, and deliver increased energy density.
Orbia Fluor & Energy Materials (OF&EM) and its Energy Materials Business Unit are uniquely positioned to meet these challenges by supplying fluorine-based materials for the Li-ion battery industry, through vertical integration with our fluorspar mine in North America.
Our innovation and development are driven by our commitment to delivering high-quality and cost-effective products that solve critical customer needs. We are developing fluorinated products that improve battery performance, sustainability, and safety while ensuring a secure and resilient localized supply chain.
